Expert Answer

Hachures are an older mode of representing relief features on a map. In hachures, on a gentle slope, lines become thin and are far apart from each other. These lines are closely spaced on a steeper slope.
One disadvantage of hachures is that they do not tell us about the actual height above sea level.
